Has anyone dealt with NewKadia.com?

http://www.newkadia.com/NK.php?Home

They don't have quite the selection MyComicsShop.com has and it seems their prices are a little higher on most VALIANT's, but they do offer free shipping on all their orders plus other incentives like free comics.

My biggest train-wreck story goes as follows. I was at a local comicon in Iowa about 15 years ago, and saw a copy of X-Men #16 (original pre-Uncanny series) being billed as "NM" on sale for $30. Being 14 at the time, I only had about $50 to spend, so I blew over half of my budget on this book, only ...

So, I would say "Why"? Why would Kris fool Pete that waY?

If she truly believed that Torque was the father, she wouldn't be consciously fooling Pete. And with Pete's potential to pass down any Harbinger trait couldn't Kris' belief that Torque is the power subconcsiously cause strength to ...

I read the Road to Civil War issues in FF, as I'm a Dr. Doom fan. I must admit, I found myself enjoying them, along with the possible return of someone else.

As for Annihilation, I'm a hardcore cosmic fan. But the glaring gaps in continuity have thrown me off the event. I'm not picking up any of ...

It could also possibly have gotten inside the book itself during packaging and be there, just not on the outside.

You've been able to find VALIANTs in the Milwaukee area??? I must be slipping. Let's see....

Collector's Edge, I would assume you're talking about the store on KINNICKINNIC AVE. You know, the one with all the back issues in the basement. I was pretty sure Myron and myself had cleaned that place ...

Comic Shops and VALIANT?

I'm just curious as to what your experiences have been with finding VALIANT books at your local comic shops.

I live in the Milwaukee metro, so I've got 12 comic shops within an hour drive of me. Two of these shops are bonanzas for Valiant books. Collector's Edge has every single Valiant book ...

Hey all,

I'm sure this is an odd request, but I'm currently in search of the Master Darque bookmark by Joe Quesada that was packaged in the Wizard: The Dark Book special. If anyone has one they're willing to part with, or know where I can find one, please PM me. It's greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't get why anyone would refuse to reveal a reserve. What's the point of hiding the price? Seems counter productive to me. I have never bid on an auction where the seller wouldn't reveal the reserve. Just discouraging....I might even put the reserve amount in the description. :thumb:

I've only won one reserve auction, and that was for the entire Starlin run of Batman. I didn't win the auction, but I was the only bidder and didn't meet the reserve, but the seller gave me the option to buy anyway.
